I too continue parenting my children once they are asleep.

Funnily enough, I used to! (I even contributed a few PRs). However with my new home battery I need more granular control to do some tariff arbitrage that EVCC didn't really support. Great project though!

or, use Home Assistant to handle your charging schedules.

That's the point. Your prototype doesn't need to be pretty. It just needs to prove that the value is there for it to be made pretty.

A bit dramatic. It’s a 15 second read

If “good intent” means making a copycat website and putting Don Ho’s name on the author bio page.

> The industry has a lot of work to do in this department

The “industry” has an answer to this problem. It’s called a blameless post-mortem.

Don’t blindly externalise the blame onto everyone else, assume we work in a imperfect world and build safety around the process such that this doesn’t / can’t happen again.

If all you do is finger point to shift the blame, then you’ll have an infinite number of avoidable incidents to show for it

> Issues like this occurred and still occur without vibe coding

Right and so you focus on fixing the elements of the process you can control.

Gawiser filed a “writ of execution” (another $240 in court fees) just yesterday, which would allow Texas law enforcement to seize and sell off enough of Tesla’s property as would be required to pay the judgment against them.

I use pi (https://pi.dev/) as my coding agent which allowed you to use your subscription until Claude recently introduced extra usage and I was routinely using the equivalent of my Claude Max subscription in an hour multiple times a day.

The writing is on the wall.

It definitely has a learning curve and took me about 3 hours to get perfect. I’m glad I went through that because I absolutely will never go back.

Consistent fonts, padding, margins etc for every single book is so much better. OPDS support means effortless side loading of books. I love it

pi-coding-agent (https://shittycodingagent.ai/) is what I use and is particularly popular due to its simplicity and minimal system prompt.

How about the people that don't use OpenClaw, but alternative agent harnesses that are vastly better than Claude Code?

Not only that but KOReader has native support for OPDS feeds, which the OPs read-it-later service Readeck also natively supports.

I have been using it like this for a while and it is absolutely bliss to be able to view a catalogue of my inboxed articles on my kindle, with annotation (exports of which are also supported in KOReader).

Funnily enough I have built essentially the exact same thing in HomeAssistant. Shot collection is completely automated as I have a LM Linea Micra and Acaia Lunar scales (Both have integrations that use Bluetooth). You should consider support for bluetooth scales etc!

TIL that 20-30% revenue growth year over year is underperforming.

Atlassian does >$1B/year in free cash flow. the GAAP losses are almost entirely stock-based comp, which is non-cash. the buyback exists specifically to offset that dilution.

> buybacks will reduce profit

wrong. its a balance sheet transaction. cash goes down, shares go down.
